Japanese Group Build XIV
Rules
*Start Date January 1, 2025
*End Date January 31, 2026 (Extended – One Month Grace Period Added)
*Japanese civilian or military subjects (which I’ll define as operating under the Japanese flag, aka a captured P-40 flown by a Japanese pilot would be kosher )
*Cross-overs are welcome
*Pre-started are fine as long as they’re under 10-20% finished (light assemby)
*Any ‘roll-over’ subjects from JGB XIII are welcome
*** No cut-off date for entry, you can enter on Dec 30 if you can build the model in a day**
And most important have fun guys and gals!
I received the blessing from @Gamera to run this GB for 2025 as he is unable. Same rules as usual. Let’s have fun building some Japanese models!

Question, is it limited to military subjects or is it open to civil ones as well?
Civi is fine as long as it’s Japanese …
Last chance to sign up for the Japanese Group Build XIV folks!
Don’t let @jeaton01 , @waikong and yours truly take all the glory!
Ok, I guess it’s not your last chance–you can join the fun anytime during the next 12 months.
Looking forward to seeing some great Japanese Models built.
Happy New Year!

I’m in with a 1/48 Hasegawa Val and maybe a Jill.
Hi @keavdog , glad to have you on board! I’ll add you to the roster.
I really wanted to build a 1/32 Ki-84 or N1K2 but both kits are out of stock at my online source. That said, I have the amazing Arma Hobby 1/72 Ki-84 that I acquired a few months ago, so I think I will go with that for a start…

Hello, is this WWII only, or is post war ok too?
Hi, Greg. Usually it is anything Japanese, but sushi might be pushing it.
